Robert
"RD"
Johnson
Robert “RD” Johnson, 68, of Vinton, Virginia, was called home on Thursday, April 27, 2023.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Edgar and Lorraine Johnson; and his sister, Martha Ann Busbice.
RD loved family (especially his grandsons), going on family vacations, making up songs, assigning nicknames, the outdoors, and camping. He was a good man.
RD is survived by his wife of 37 years, Pam Johnson; daughters, Caitlin Joy Gills (Chad), Rebecca Louise Johnson (Tommy); grandsons, Colter Robert and Conner Jay Gills; sisters, Jina Johnson and Winnie Corazao (Miguel); and many special friends and family.
In remembrance of RD's life, the family asks that donations be made to Thrasher Preschool at 707 E. Washington Avenue, Vinton, VA 24179 in his name. RD's daughters both attended Thrasher Preschool, as does his grandsons. As Colter put it, everybody loved Grandude. Plants are equally welcomed.
The family will receive friends from 4:00pm-7:00pm at Oakey’s Vinton Chapel on Friday, May 5, 2023.
